    Meh. Hasn't been super reliable from a health standpoint and has only really shot well for maybe 25% of his career. Underrated defensive player though.

    I'm more interested to see what they do at the center position.

    So Haynes didn't end up wrong and broke the story first.

    Sounds like a win.

    And Bradley or Rozier if possible...

    Boston has a 1/2/3 logjam.

    And a players tribune piece because that's the cool thing to do now when you fuck the small market team. Hayward is no different than Durant but people will excuse Hayward. He went to Boston to form the "big 3" knowing the east is weak and now it will come down to them and cavs in the east. Utah is fucked now

    Beat me to it. Couple reasons they might want to keep him:
    1. he can play 4 in smallball
    2. he's on an amazingly cheap contract
    3. he's their best frontcourt defender

    But if we don't offer Meyers for him I'll be disappointed.

    Everyone would love to have him but I bet Boston wants him and Tatum to be their future in 4-5 years

    Sounds like they need a sweet-shooting seven footer, especially one of the complexion much admired in South Boston.

    Feel for Utah. They were building a decent team that gave us fits last year. Let's see if we can break off a piece of Boston's excess parts.

    What's Utah going to do? Just slide Rodney Hood over?

    Boston will trade one of Crowder, Smart, or Rozier evidently. I'd be interested in both Crowder and Smart.

    I think Boston would be interested in Vonleh.

    Yeah Hayward did them dirty, they really built a great supporting cast for him and all signs were pointing towards improving.

    He has the size to do so, imo Hood is a better player than Wiggins.
